Valentine are muking frantio efforta to defend his vote in congress on the river and harbor stcal. They are frightened at the overwhe!ming public sentiment agsinet this gigantic raid on the na- tional (reasury. Ohio, which (cfeated five rivor and harbor statesmen at the lato election, is a dreadful instance which msy be repeated in the Third . distriot of Nebzaska, Oa this account j Judge Mason, who is paid $100 ¥ #peeoh for defonding Val and attack- ing Benator Van Wyck, devotes a |t Iargs portion of his speech. to the | a rivor and harbor bill, snd had the| ohoek to tell his audience thut Val's| { vote in favor of the steal was a highly % commendable piece of buccaneerirg The river and haibor bill was the most monetrous pieco of log-rolling which ever saw the light in congress.

Tt will afford handsome and commo- dious quarters for our county officers and a secure aud firo proof depository for the records which for years have been exposed to destruction. Theold shell on Farnsm street years ago outlived its usefuluesr. Begun in 1857, and completed two years later, it was considered in early days as a pretentious and fire proof structure, But it would long ago have been re- placed by a handsomer and larger building if Douglas county had not wisely decided not to buld uniil it could erect a court house which would be in accord with the rapidly increns- ing wealth of the county and the wrowing commercial importance of Oumaha, its county seat, Tur Brg from the outset of the long struggle which finally resulted in the letting of the contracts f r the present court house ivsisted that solidty and fire proot quu'ities should not be sacrificed 10 & mutakea rconomy and that the 3 should be one which would be ouce a credit to the county and aa ornamsut to the city, Tae discussion over the change of ma terials and the lowering of the Far. uam sigeos grade have delayed the work, Ut the outcome will fully jus tify the aelsy. With many of our cit- zsns Tnr Bee thinks that the city hiall aud county house ought to have been combined, both 2s a measure of «eonomy and because such a combina- tion would have enabled the county commissioners to have erected a finer structurs through the addition of an- other story. ' The question may yet come up, but meantima every citizen of Omsha snd Douglas couuty may be congratulated that the new court house will be a building of which every Ne- braskan may be proud as one of the 8 i ! ewindle.

Mr. James Oreighton chairman of “he hoard of public works has made & thorough inveetigation ¢f the Min- granite. The conclusion reached by Mr. O:eighton is that the granite ppi and §800,000 | quarries at Biovx Falls are practically [ the great inexhaustible and sufficient for sup- plying an ualimited amount of pav- ing block. These quarries are handled by capitalists of great fiuancial strength and business ability, A force of expert stone culters is engaged in prepariug the blocks for paving pur- poses, 80 that it is perfectly safe for Omaha to enter into s contract for the paving of Tenth street with this ma- terial. ,000,000 to complete the| Mr. Oreighton in his report recom- | health and of our new works. It is [ mends that the board shall sward the | strong, hearty wan. contract for this stone to Wm. Mack & Co. at onse, 80 that wo delay shall “ be experienced in the paving of Tenth street. The bids under the advertisement of the 26th of August, wera for granite block with eoncrete foundation; €810 per rqnare yard tor Montello granite, same foundation; 8700 for Sionx Falls granite, sasme foundation, £6.85; Sioux Falla granite, with sand and gravel fourdation, §6.43. These bids were rejected by the board because they deemed the price altogether too high. On the 30th of September the board readvertised for bids for paving Tenth street and bids were received ranging from 85,33 per square yard to $266 per rquare yard, Among there bids Willism Mack & Co. pro- posed to pave with Bioux Falls granite with broken stone and sand found:. tion for §4 35 per rquare yard. The lowest previous bid for the same atone with very much inferior founda- tions of sand and gravel was 85 43 per rquare yard. This bid is revarded as very reasonable, and Me. Creighton, in view of the fast that the owners of property on Tenth street desire granite block pavement recommends that the contract be awarded. Mr. Barker, of the board of public works, acks for de- Jay and favors as we are informed the scheme to pave with Colorado eand store, Now while we oconcece that the Colorado scone ie well adapted for building purposes it cannot possibly compete with granite for durability for paving purposes. If the Sioux Falls granite stands the test with gran. ite that is used elsewhere it certaialy is the right material. The fact that Ohicago is paving several of her streets with Sioux Falls granite would indi ocate that they have confidense in it. With all due deference to Mr. Barker THr Ber can see no good rea- son why any further delay should be countenanced. The property owners on Tenth street have asked for granite. The merchants of Omaha are vitally interested in hav. ng Tenth street paved with the beat material and at the earliest moment. If W. Stout, who has interest in the Colorado quarrics, can give Omaha the kind of paviog material she wants we arein favor of Mr. Stout. If Wm. Mack or any other responsibla con- tractor is ready to do the paving with better material than Mr. Stout can gtve us at a reasonsble rate, we be. lieve it to be to the interest of Omaha to award the contract. Tenth street should be paved with granite without delay. A Per Miie Rate. The Lincoln Journal has frequently stated that a regulation of the charges of railroads requiring them to charge a certain amouat per ton for each mile for freight transported would work disustrously to the Nobraska farmer, who is at the far end of a long haul, It would seem that it would depend upon what rate per ton per mile was charged. It the same rate was fixed as the meximum charge for the transportation of grain, as was in fact charged by some of the leading trunk roads in 181, upon an average for each ton carried, it wopld cheapen rates to the Nebraska farmer The charge for transporting a car load of corn from Lincoln to Chicago ~-b50 milee—is §70. The average rate charged for hanling a ton of freight ouw mile in 1881 by the Pitts burg & Fort Wayue railroad, was three fourths of ove cent; by the New York Central 1t was seven hundred and eighty-three one thousandths of one cent; by the Michigan Central it was seven hundred and eighteen ono thousandths of one cent. Say the average charge for the three roads named was three fourths of one cout permile, A car load of corn containing 260 bashels, weighing eixty pounds per bushel, would con- tain 21,000 pounds, or ten and one- half tons, which at three-fourths of oue cencdpur mile, would amount to soven and seven-eights cents per ton por , and at this rate the cost of hauling & car load of corn to Chicago from Lincoln would be forcy-three dollars aud six ceuts, but httle over one-half the present charges. At the same rato the cost of haulu g the same car from Lincoln to New York, esti- mating the distance to be 1,600 miles, would be $11870. Corn and the bulky produce of farmrs shou'd be and 18 havled for a less rate than the average ate charged for freight car: ried, as witness the editorial of the ‘l;mwln Journal of the 24:h of Ooto- or, As the net revenuo of C. B & Q raitroad for 1881, was $10,749,780 47, it would seem that this road might offord to haul freight at as cheap rates o other ronds, The fact is that no other roads MOre prosperous than the trunk lines of the west that by pooling contracts mawtain high rates of taritf, and subsidized journals alone see that the tariffs of these roads are adjosted with a tender com- parison for the interests of the west- era favmer and that & fixed rate per ton per mile would operate to the in- jury of the people, Tho secrot and the only secret of the suscees of such a rate is to make it low enough to pro- Two items of the bill wore above|nesota lime stone and Sioux Falls|tect the people living remote from, as well as near to markets, and that soch & rate would do as much for the roads as justice requires is stown by rosperity of the roads above named offsriug and maintsinit g these low rates, The net earnings of the New York Central for 1881, was 812 883 610 24 The net earnings of the Michigan Cen. tral railroad for 1881, was $2.068 - 896 37 The net earnings of the Purts. burg & Fi.

Sir Richard Asheton Oross aud Lord John Maa- ners and other conservatives con- tended that this res«lution requires some moditication and that the speak or was the only person who should in law and equity hold in his hands the power of cloture. Gladstone then offered to accept an amendment which ahould limit action upon the resolution to the chairman of the committee on ways and meane; also an amendment that no member should be allowed to act as chairman of that commitiee without first ob- taining the sanction of the house, Lord Randolph Churchiil eaid that in order to obtain tull information as to the government'’s schems he desired to move an adjournment for the pres ent.
